Topic: Glove friendly MP3 player (Read 2858 times)

So my cat knocked my old Sansa Fuse off the counter and it broke. So I am looking for another cheap, glove friendly MP3 player. I liked the old Fuze, because I listen to FM, and could switch presets fairly easily with my gloves on... I may order up another Fuze.

I have one of those. Can add extra micro-SD card. Battery charge lasts 8 to 10 hours or more. Will play MP3 and WMA format. Can also play while charging from USB cable on the bike. Good little device, but not particularly glove friendly. But for the price, it's great.

Buttons not too small?? Even the Fuze buttons were iffy. Everything is touchscreen now, and that sucks. We need big buttons.

I picked up one of these a while back. It is waterproof and has a wrist strap (I attached it to the outside of my tank back with velcro). It works great, and would be a pretty cheap solution if you already have a iphone or ipod.

Added expense, but I have a Scala rider set in my helmet and found that the Ipods can be operated by voice command via BT. Makes it nice as all you do is tap the button on the Scala unit and then tell the player what to do. I would think Iphones would do the same.

It's not the destination, but the journey, that counts. A sport-tourer's ride between two points is seldom a straight line. He will often seek the most convoluted route possible to reach his destination.
